Just to be clear I never suggested converting the book to ePub. If you view an AZW book in calibre it is automatically converted to epub then fed to the viewer as a ePub.
What I tried to convey was the AZW book in your library is perfectly fine and if you viewed the book on any Kindle or Kindle App then you would see it as you expect.

If your plugin is old then a book can be corrupted when being imported and the subsequent attempt at a conversion may reflect the corruption. But that doesn't sound like the problem here.

I'm glad you came up with a solution.

Hopefully my explanation of the calibre viewer above helps you understand. The odds are great that the AZW book in the calibre library is fine. There is code in the book that does not convert without error to ePub. However why it doesn't convert perfectly is a topic for another thread.
